PORT CHESTER, N.Y. -- The Friends of the Israel Defense Forces are hosting their annual gala in Westchester on Thursday, Oct. 26 at 6:30 p.m. at the Capital Theater in Port Chester.

This year's gala will be headlined by Lior Raz, the co-creator, and star of the Netflix series "Fauda." The show focuses on the story of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from opposing perspectives. Viewers follow the story of a commander in an undercover IDF unit trying to locate Hamas terrorist Abu-Ahmed, who has murdered 143 Israelis.

Raz is a former soldier who also served as a counterterrorist.

The gala will be attended by about 350 people and will include speeches by members of the Israeli military.

Funds raised at this event will go toward well-being and educational programs for Israeli soldiers, wounded veterans, and the families of fallen soldiers. For more information visit
